Answer 2

Answer:

The given sentence is : The man who is standing at the gate is my father.

• Here 'who' is a Relative Pronoun.

Explanation :

• Pronouns can be divided into the following nine classes : Personal Pronoun, Possessive Pronoun, Demonstrative Pronoun, Reflexive & Emphatic Pronoun, Interrogative Pronoun, Relative Pronoun, Indefinite Pronoun, Distributive Pronoun and Reciprocal Pronoun.

• The Principal Relative Pronouns are 'who', 'which', 'that', 'what' ; 'as' and 'but' are also used as Relatives.

• Relative Pronouns behave like demonstrative Pronoun and connects two sentences as Conjunction.

• 'Who' refers only to 'persons' : The boy who go there is my brother. Here 'the boy' is anticident of Relative Pronoun 'who'.

• Example : It is you who have broken the window.
